Chapter 47: The Most Beautiful in the World
Mobile reading
There is no doubt that beauty should be different in everyone's mind, and it is almost impossible to unify it. But as far as world art collecting is concerned, there are some things that will always be agreed upon by everyone.
Then the most beautiful thing in the world is probably Venus, which is probably not controversial.
Venus was dug by Iorgos, a Greek Milo farmer, in the spring of 1820 while plowing the ground. When Louis Brest, the French consul in Milo at the time, learned of this, he rushed to Iorgos' residence and offered to buy the statue at a high price, and Iolcos agreed. However, since he did not have enough cash on hand, he had to send Cuvier to Constantinople overnight to report to the French ambassador. After hearing the report, the ambassador immediately ordered his secretary to take a large sum of money and go to Milo overnight to negotiate the purchase of the statue of the goddess, but he did not know that the peasant Iorghos had sold the idol to a Greek merchant and had already shipped it on a ship. Cuvier immediately decided to intercept it by force.
When the British learned of this, they also sent ships to fight, and the two sides started a fierce battle, in which the arms of the sculpture were unfortunately broken, and since then, Venus has become a goddess with broken arms. At the time of the excavation, Venus had her right arm hanging down, her hand holding her coat, and her left upper arm stretched over her head, holding an apple.
This is the origin of the severed arm of the Venus statue, and there are many other legends, including the severed arm when it was unearthed, which is a rumor. However, if we talk about it today, or imagine the arms that we lost because of the original battle, then I don't know what kind of beautiful picture it will look like.
Therefore, after the processing of each person's different appearances, Venus has become the most beautiful thing in the world. And this is similar to the Mona Lisa's rather puzzling smile, because her mystery makes people have to change the angle of observation, change their different levels of perceptual thinking, so that her smile has many explanations.
This is also a kind of beauty, the most regrettable beauty that cannot be repaired, and the most mysterious and conjecturing smile, which is Ah Qi's goal.
Of course, as far as Tang Yunyang is concerned, except for airplanes, there is almost no more artistic accomplishment. At the very least, this Western standard of beauty may not be in line with his understanding of beauty.
For him, for example, a bowl of lamb bubbles at noon is a comfortable and wonderful thing. While the British may choose to fight a blood-streaked steak, the Americans are more inclined to annihilate a fried chicken.
So, in his eyes Venus did not have his wife Jane. Merlin is pretty, and the smile of the Mona Lisa is not as attractive as the bubbles in the mouth of their little Don An. As for what Tang Yunyang's favorite beauty is, don't worry, we'll talk about it soon.
So why choose these things? Because robbing them of these things, the French will have heartache. Both the people will have heartache. It even hurts so much that it wants to jump, and there is no way to have a real armed conflict with China.
After all, we can't go into a state of war with China because of some unfashionable thieves! This thing he didn't give Jane. Merlin said. After all, it was stolen from her homeland, or almost openly robbed.
Then, here, we will also find another way of doing things by Tang Yunyang. While in control of the world's largest gang, and the world's first army with air strike forces at its core. He does things as if he were using his hands and feet at the same time.
This time it was a blow to France, and both external and internal blows were equally important. The methods of the gangsters, in particular, are something that the French could hardly think of and could not do. Because, the leader of one country uses the power of gangsters to exert pressure on another country, not to mention that the French government can think of it.
Just as the Palace of Soubise was being burglarized and hundreds of thousands of people were marching across the Champs-Élysées, a crowd of uninvited guests came to the Louvre. Similarly, the Louvre is on holiday today, but there is no problem with the facilities here, and there is no need for anyone to inspect it.
So where to start?
However, the second general of "Jie" and "Wei", who had already lurked in the Louvre the day before, had already prepared all the "climate" that needed to be created for the next day's operation.
The general environment outside is that the Champs-Élysées could turn into a riot march at any time, and this is enough to worry the French government. After all, if something goes wrong in Paris at this juncture, I'm afraid that the face of the French government will have no place to put it at all.
This is the so-called, hit someone in the face first, not only to beat him but also to make him lose face!
Of course, since it can be regarded as some kind of offense, then this will be a double-edged sword, if you don't hit someone's face well, but make yourself obedient and show your ugliness, it will be a very ugly thing.
Will it?
The climate created by the two before the action was nothing more than the pyrotechnic generators installed near the first window in the Louvre. It's a bit like the pyrotechnicians in the movie, where the illusion of a fire caused by a big explosion is prepared.
But surely one would have asked if the guards were all dead men, and that they had dozed off and sleepwalked on patrol at night.
Of course not, but they don't have much of a good way to prevent this kind of "thief" road. After all, it's easier to prevent thieves from stealing, but it's difficult to keep thieves in mind. And those who have been selected from 400 million people and who have been the most perfectly trained by the thieves, such an invasion is even more difficult to prevent.
Like the Palais de Soubiz, the Louvre is not closed today, but there are no more visitors. More people were attracted to the Champs-Élysées by the "Victory Parade" and the ongoing "Chinese Parade".
At 10 a.m., when the march on the Champs-Élysées reached its climax and there were skirmishes with some French police, the Louvre suddenly caught fire.
Tongues of fire mixed with thick smoke came out of almost every window in the Louvre, as if the entire Louvre had been hit by a super huge bomb, and the fire extinguishing device did not respond at all, and in desperation, the management of the Louvre quickly called the nearby fire station.
Soon after, several fire trucks appeared to the sound of "Ding Li-dong" bells. Firefighters wearing fireproof suits and carrying life-saving axes rushed into the Louvre.
And one of the teams was particularly impressive, they first rushed to the place where the most precious paintings were kept, and the curator promised not to damage the paintings, and not to spray water into them until they were rescued.
There has always been such a question among the French people, if the Louvre is on fire, which painting will be rescued first? Probably due to different perceptions of beauty, 1,000 people may have dozens or even hundreds of different answers. But according to the Western understanding of beauty, the task given to firefighters may be to rescue those works with the greatest artistic value on the premise of saving people as much as possible.
Then what we mentioned above, including other famous painters or other famous sculptures are among the rescues. As a result, the paintings and sculptures were removed from the Louvre. There were even some firefighters who were injured because they were fighting the fire and were carried out on stretchers and directly into an ambulance parked next to them.
But it didn't take long, but the situation was clarified, and a firefighter came to tell the Louvre administrators that there was no fire in the Louvre at all, but it was just a false alarm. They were also told that the chaos in the Louvre might have been created by someone with ulterior motives, so they should probably notify the police immediately.
Soon after, when the police arrived, they began to investigate, only to discover that some people with ulterior motives had planted smoke and flame bombs at some windows of the Louvre, and it was speculated that the purpose was to create chaos and steal certain cultural relics.
It was only then that the Louvre's administrators received a report from the librarian who had begun to take stock of the collection.
"Sir, the situation is very bad, the statue of Venus has been lost, and at the same time there are dozens of famous paintings, and they have replaced those famous paintings with fakes, which are difficult to find without careful inspection!"
"Oh my God, I must inform the President and Mr. Prime Minister as soon as possible, I think they will definitely kill me!"
In the ensuing investigation, they found that no more people had left the area, except for the stretchers carried by a fire station, and according to such a clue, the French quickly found a fire station. That is, when fighting the fire, the most heroic and fearless, and at the same time, the fire brigade with the most injuries.
But when the police burst into the fire station, they found that the entire fire brigade, including the captain, had been tied up in the basement for a whole day.
Haha, I can't understand it when it comes to this. The firefighters who were carried out, covered in sweat and black ash, were the same team of thieves who had infiltrated last night, not only stolen famous paintings, sculptures, but even replaced treasures with some fakes. And after today's fire, the first fire brigade that rushed in was to carry them out to pick up the personnel.
As for Miss Venus, she became a firefighter who was badly burned, and was tightly covered and invited to the ambulance on the side. As for the firefighters, after completing their tasks, they managed to change their clothes one by one, and quietly left taking advantage of the chaotic scene caused by the arrival of more and more fire brigades.
Everything is planned, purposefully implemented, and everything works seamlessly.
Until this evening, in the auditorium of the "Zhonghua Guild Hall", which served as a base of operations, Tang Yunyang also explained to his subordinates what was beautiful as far as he was concerned.
"Raise your glass, brothers, and I want to congratulate you on the most ingenious deception in the world today, and yes, I say, there is nothing more wonderful than this, cheers!" To see the first release without ads, please go to Pinshu.com
